/**
 * <p>
 * A class that allows the creation of configuration objects wrapping a {@link ConfigurationBuilder}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Using this class special {@code ImmutableConfiguration} proxies can be created that delegate all method invocations
 * to another {@code ImmutableConfiguration} obtained from a {@code ConfigurationBuilder}. For instance, if there is a
 * configuration {@code c} wrapping the builder {@code builder}, the call {@code c.getString(myKey)} is transformed to
 * {@code builder.getConfiguration().getString(myKey)}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * There are multiple use cases for such a constellation. One example is that client code can continue working with
 * {@code ImmutableConfiguration} objects while under the hood builders are used. Another example is that dynamic
 * configurations can be realized in a transparent way: a client holds a single configuration (proxy) object, but the
 * underlying builder may return a different data object on each call.
 * </p>
